  4. Hello Helen:) Thank you so much:) This is a difficult one. For the different tones I used ashes from a sigaret. It worked very well! The color is much nicer then the gray watercolor!

  5. Hi Renate!
    Woww!
    Beautiful lilies.
    This is really a challenge but you did an excellent job!
    I've been following your blog but haven't done any comments.
    I see that you've been really active and really enjoyed your paintings.
    I really loved the last painting,the one you did on yupo.
    Seems like yupo is a little bit difficult to work with.
    Keep up the good work!
    Best wishes...
    "Nacho"
